Temple's Bernard Pierce looking to stay healthy next season

Temple running back Bernard Pierce pronounced himself fit and ready to go after the Owls opened spring drills on Wednesday. The junior from Ardmore wants to stay healthy for first-year coach Steve Addazio and the team. "I think he's a heck of a player, and he's had a great offseason," said Addazio. "He jumps out at you on the field. He's got tremendous ability, and part of our plan to win is to run the football. Obviously, he's going to give us that."
